Things I've noticed

So I've realized that I've been in Romania for about 6 weeks now and I figured I should probably post the list of differences that I've noticed. At this point I've even forgotten some of the differences I noticed in the very beginning, so I may post with another list later on. But here's the current list:
- When in America I hate hamburgers. I don't eat them, if that's the only thing being served at a barbeque then I don't eat. In Romania, perhaps because they aren't readily available for me, I'm really craving Big Macs.
- Toilet paper is rarely white-I've seen pink, orange, and gray. The orange was even scented-peaches.
- Nothing ever starts on time. Interestingly the focal point of Sighisoara is a clock tower. When Ali and I mentioned this to our host sister in relation to lateness, she pointed out to us that even the clock tower was four minutes slow.
- Most families don't have microwaves. One host family did buy one-probably for the students living with them. After they bought it, they gave cold food to the students so they would use the microwave and then watched them using it with fascination.
- No chocolate chips. Enough said.
- Potatoes or rice with most meals, with the exception of breakfast.
- Bread with every meal, including breakfast. Sometimes it's the whole meal.
- Every lunch we have soup or chorba. No idea what the difference is but some lunches they say here's some supa-the word for soup- and sometimes they say here's some chorba. Tastes exactly the same to me, but they say there is a difference.
- They don't eat dessert here-at least not in my family.
- They have a carbonated drink made from flowers and tastes like it too. Incredibly wierd to smell flowers in your drink. Not exactly fun to taste it either.
- Seeing sheep being herded down a road and being forced to wait or go around is not unusual.
- Most Romanians don't go out to eat, ever, they just don't see the point.
- They have chips that are advertised as being chicken flavored. They taste like gravy, and not chicken gravy either interestingly enough. Ali was about to say they tasted odd, but we're not supposed to call anything odd or wierd, so she changed it to interesting.
- You can walk on the train tracks, I was a little apprehensive following someone as they very casually walked across the tracks-then I realized the electricity was in lines above.
-Viva, the most addictive snack ever. It tastes like chocolate rice chex filled with cocoa.
